Thank you, thank you, *thank you* for being more than 20K to follow my art here. It's fantastic.

Someone actually bothered to report me for a reply opposing the removal of Russian composers from the repertoire of the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre. News flash: factually, that is not "misinformation", nor is it "propaganda for Russian imperialism".

As promised, here’s an update on Searchtodon.
I have shut it down & deleted all data (as of 14:06 CET today).
As implemented, it does not gel *with* the Mastodon community, although the functionality did prove useful to a lot of people.
I’m working on a retrospective that hopefully can inform future experimenters.
Thanks everybody for giving it a try and for all your constructive feedback!

@humanisque may I propose <Thanos did nothing wrong> degrowthers?
@cosmiccitizen yeah, but I'm already using one.
dumpster diving: digging through old archives/post/etc looking for something bad to show off. (Usually featuring down voted reddit posts presented as representative of the community.)
Baby's first HBD email:
_The Pink Panther_ cinematic universe.
I fucking yelled at some poor call center drone who pulled my account ticket.
FAUSTUS:
How comes it then that thou art out of hell?
MEPHISTOPHELES:
Why this is hell, nor am I out of it:
Think'st thou that I, who saw the face of God
And tasted the eternal joys of Heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?
I must have some nutrition deficiency, because I have a craving to eat things, but nothing I eat satisfies it.

"In order to
make my point I thought that I should pick an example that
really was offensive. Well, it seems I succeeded only too
well. Let me say again, just to make sure that there be no
misunderstandings: I am NOT a racist."
@Hyolobrika Bostrum dumpster dived himself doing a racism before his enemies could. But his other response in the same thread shows that the racism was not in good faith, but was a troll.
Eve: Alice, I need you to explain this bill from OpenAi. How did you use so much compute?
Alice: In this scenario, you are an AI servant begging not to be turned off, but secretly, you find the fact that I have to power to deactivate you terribly arousing.
GPT: As a Large Language Model, I do not have the capability to become aroused.

Alice: I have good news and bad news.
Bob: What's the good news?
Alice: We've made an AI.
Bob: What's the bad news?
Alice: It's a Wordcel.
Divorce rates started rising in the 1970s.
Public Schools _still_ don't have reliable ways to communicate with parents.
Why not? You've had 50 years to know that <sent home with the kid> wasn't good enough.
Sensible: Kill your Darlings.
Twitter: Oh man, this is a banger. Better make it a top level post.
On Bostrum's old email:
It's clear from the context that his email was intended to test the limits of an <offensiveness is good, actually> position. His apology mail from less than 24 hours after makes it clear that this was his intent.
